Mobil 10W-40 Semi synthetic

A have spare engine oil for my Hyundai Matrix . And yesterday was her due to have an oil change.

13 years of service with mileage approaching to 200k kn

This engine oil I got it for Rm80 during its special 3 days sale at Giant Batu Caves.

Usually there is remaining about 0.5L, anyway I just pour all in. up

My Alternator

Here are the short history of my alternator for both of my Hyundai's

Hyundai Matrix 2005, after clocking 140,000km had it's alternator replace on year 2014...that is a good 9 years.

I had it replaced with OEM alternator....until today it still running good..now clocking to almost 200,000km, 4 years after replacement of the alternator.


My Hyundai Avante X20 alternator fail on year 2018, 10 years of continuous driving clocking 166,000km. Now clocking 180,000km...the OEM alternator is working good.

The alternator on the left is from Avante X20 and on the right is from Matrix.
Earlier plan was to send them for  recondition, until today 3/12/2018..they are still in my safe keeping without doing anything....how time flies!!!.

Looking at above, I have to prepare an alternator for Matrix as back up.

Shell High Mileage Engine Oil 10W-40

My Hyundai Avante X20 2008 has clocked 179,891km, its due for its 180K km oil change. I was searching for the 5W-40 4L engine oil and every where was selling for RM200 - RM280. I missed the chance to buy a good offer by Giant Hyper for RM89.90 for a Shell 4L 5W-40.

I usually buy the Hyundai Eteer fully synthetic 6L 5W-30 for RM180.

So while scouting around a few petrol station, I found the Shell High Mileage Engine Oil 10W-40.. Fully Synthetic for RM154, so it should be good to last for 10,000km oil change. After oil change I notice the engine rev smoother and engine noise was also a lot quieter...I'm surprised !

No leakage after replacing the oil filter...that's a good sight...there was once the oil filter was not tighten properly ( many years ago),,,still can see on the right some stained..
